Donald Trump once again used the term “Shylock,” 
widely considered antisemitic, 
while defending Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., 
at a campaign rally in Kansas on Monday night, 

more than a year after he faced widespread criticism for his use of the term 
and claimed he was unaware that the term had antisemitic connotations.
